Stacey,

Ed hasn't shipped back the Switchman. It'll be back sometime in the next few weeks. He has to get all of the units he had for loan back from CES before he can return mine.

To answer your question though:

Each input can have channel trim +/- 10dB in .25dB increments.

Volume control is in .5dB steps, so I can get a fairly precise level match. Can I get within 0.1dB? Probably not.

I only listened to Soular Energy on the Kenwood / Outlaw / Rocket setup in System B so far.... and it's splendid.

Completely natural sounding, and far better than the vinyl.

I haven't broken out the SACD version yet, as I've been enjoying Trifield on traditional Redbook CD, as I begin to finish up my listening for the upcoming review.

Damn, I wish I had the $$$ for an 861 Processor!

Regards,

Surround Music Fan/Computer Geek/Curmudgeon in training.
